From Tadahiro Nomura, about All Japan Judo businessman individual championship.

Three time Olympic Champion, 38-year-old  Tadahiro Nomura (JPN -60kg) is still very active in judo. He was gold medalist at the Olympics in Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004. He was also qualified for OG in Beijing 2008, but All-Japan Judo Federation sent Hiraoki Hiraoka as his replacement who lost against Taraje Williams-Murray (USA) in first round. Who knows what could happend for the biggest judo legend ever if he was there.

Nomura fought at All Japan Judo businessman individual championships last weekend.

"I hurt my shoulder so badly, but I did all my best. I was actually not satisfied the result which was 3rd place, but I was happy that I could fight on tatami again as Judoka." - Nomura wrote at his web blog.

"Thank you for supporting me for all my fans, friends who could visit to see me the stadium, and I received many positive mail, comments and letters through my blog, twitter, and official web."

Thank you so much, I will keep going on next!
